STIMULUS INTENSITY EFFECT AND RESPONSE LATENCY

Estimating stimulus response latency.

Stimulus response latency is the delay in the onset of stimulus-evoked neuronal activity. We develop maximum likelihood and least squares estimators of stimulus response latency and present a comparison of the performance of these methods with estimators commonly used in the neuroscience literature. The formal statistical change-point estimation problem is nontrivial due to the inclusion of a '...

Effect of stimulus intensity level on auditory middle latency response brain maps in human adults.

Auditory middle latency response (AMLR) brain maps were obtained in 11 young adults with normal hearing. AMLR waveforms were elicited with monaural clicks presented at three stimulus intensity levels (50, 70, and 90 dB nHL). Recordings were made for right and left ear stimulus presentations. All recordings were obtained in an eyes open/awake status for each subject. Peak-to-peak amplitudes and ...

Psychological Review Stimulus Intensity and Response Evocation

A decision model based on that of McGill (1963) relating stimulus intensity to response latency is applied to conditioning and reactiontime data. Points of similarity and identity between this model, HullSpence behavior theory, and the theory of signal detection are indicated. It is suggested that the concept of a variable, experimentally manipulable detection criterion or reaction threshold is...

The Effect of Stimulus Intensity on Motor Latency in the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Stimulus-response compatibility in intensity-force relations.

Romaiguère, Hasbroucq, Possamaï, and Seal (1993) reported a new compatibility effect from a task that required responses of two different target force levels to stimuli of two different intensities. Reaction times were shorter when high and low stimulus intensities were mapped to strong and weak force presses respectively than when this mapping was reversed. We conducted six experiments to refi...
